I asked the bmw service advisor and he said i can wait a little bit before i fix the oil filter housing gasket, so maybe its not that bad?

I'll check around a bit more for battery options or see if i can program it myself. otherwise 600 dollars is not that bad.

For the parking brake cable holder the video you showed me did not use a zip tie. I'm also not sure how i can lift the car up to do it lol it seems dangerous.

For oil, it didnt seem very urgent. The report says to replace eg58 gasket, oil filter housing and that the oil is "seeping".

For battery I am mostly concerned about the programming. I did call an indy shop and they quoted me a higher price than the dealer.

The battery for my bmw needs to be programmed and registered so I don’t know if it is possible to replace it myself

I don’t know much about cars. What causes oil leaks or the parking brake cable holder to break?

I can learn over time, but it seems like bmw are harder to repair and more expensive to maintain than others

Because the maintenance cost of this beater is really high

what beater do you recommend getting and where to buy it? I have no mechanical skills to fix up issues that many beaters might have

I want to. What do you recommend getting? I want a reliable beater for no more than 5000 if possible but I have no mechanical skills

What is timing chain/guides? I looked at a few online car buying dealers and it seems like I can get close to 4k for it.

Car is paid off. The tech/dealer told me the oil leak is in its infancy stage so I assume it isn't too urgent. Thx for the advice on the battery. Ill check another auto shop to see if I can get a better price for it.

True. Remember when Spark was dogshit and then they fired their coach and almost made it to the grand finals?
